About Zeus

Meet Zeus, an active male Labrador Retriever and American Pitbull Terrier mix. He was born on June 4, 2023, and is already making a name for himself at the shelter. Zeus has had a rocky start; he’s been brought in a few times before, primarily due to issues with other dogs and some destructive behaviors. His love for digging and chewing became too much for his last adopter after two years. Despite these challenges, Zeus is a charming boy who adores children and is well-mannered on the leash. He thrives in an active environment, so he would be best suited for a family willing to provide him with the exercise and mental stimulation he needs. If you’re looking for a companion to share adventures with, consider bringing Zeus into your life. Give him the loving home he has been waiting for. Apply today!
